I don't see why not.  If you modified debian-generated
config file and removed the setting, it will complain,
exactly as in this bugreport.  My point is that when
the package gets installed, it creates the right config
file with proper email address, and I said exactly this
several times already.

I don't really want to change default in the source, this
adds unnecessary changes from upstream which trivially can
be, and _are_ already handled in the config file.

What I don't understand?
